House in Aldan
In the Russian Far East.
Aldan is a gold mining town across the Lena River and about 400 miles of very dusty, potholed dirt road from Yakutsk. This is the garden behind my friend's house in Aldan and the house next door.

Славься, труд, Славься!
The first time I traveled to Russia, then the USSR, was in 1989. Sculpture, simple posters, etc., with themes such as this: Славься, труд, Славься (To the glory of work, to the glory!) were, of course common. The attitude of many people I talked to, their comment on such posters, was; "The state pretends to pay us and we pretend to work."
Pastel on colored stock, 12 by 12 inches.
